"Just what is the real signifi–

" ls the Soviet" Union working
on such a new means of mass
destruction? Does [Brezhnev)
fear that the United States, Chi–
na or sorne other power may be
working on something of the
kind? Does he have secret infor–
mation of such activity? Or is he
merely seeking headlines to boost
his personal prest ige as a world
leader?
" In a ny event it would be fool–
ishness to assume the latter and
simply shrug it off."
Mysterlous Soviet Transmissions
Just as the world began its period
of crazy wcather, scattered bursts
of radio interference began to
jam world airwaves. The intcrfer–
ence was caused by signals from
the world's most powerful radio
stations located in the Sov iet
Union. These radio signals a re at
least fou r times more powerful
than any other in the world.
These signals
began on a stea–
dy basis
in July,
1976,
though
there are reports that occasional
transmissions were made as far
back as 1
97
l.
Since
1976,
the signals have
wreaked havoc with short wave
radio communications. In
1977,
both European and American
communications authorities com–
plained to the Soviets. The So–
viets replied, according to
Time
magazine, that they were con–
ducting "experiments" which,
they lamented "could cause inter–
ference of short duration to radio
facilities."
But these radio experiments
may even have altered world
weather patterns. An authority
on weather-warfare, former U.S.
Defense Department think-tank
researcher Lowell Ponte, has re–
vealcd to
The Plain Truth:
"The right kind of radio trans–
missions a lter the planet's mag–
netic field. The giant rivers of
wind in the sky, like the jet
stream, tend to follow that mag–
netic field. So when you bend it
or when you begin creating giant
electrical standing waves in the
atmosphere, as our government
knows they've [the Soviets) been
June

July 1980
doing, you bend those wind cur–
rents, a nd where they go the
weather goes."
1ndeed, after the Soviets began
their radio experiments, meteo–
rologists reported that "blocking"
effects-high pressure areas–
extending down the West a nd
East coast of North America,
and along the Russian-Polish
border up to Finland, were stop–
ping the normal circulation of
weather. These high pressure
areas were in the same place as
huge, standing radio waves, more
than 1,000 miles long, and a t a
frequency between 4 and 26 hertz
(vibrat ion s per second)-the
same frequency range used by
the Soviets! (See "The Lost
Secret of Testa," by Edward

Greedy, warring man,
having rejected God's
way of giving and love,
will try, if he has the
power, to force the

bidding!

A number of scientists have
s tudied the effect of radio trans–
missions on the weather. Stan–
ford University's Robert Helli–
well has discovered that very low
frequency radio energy- such as
that transmitted by the Soviets–
can cause an "electron rain" in
the earth's ionosphere, and this
inevitably alters weather patterns
below.
Dr. Walter Orr Roberts, who
once worked for the U.S. Nation–
al Center for Atmospheric Re–
search, speculated in
1967
that
changes in the ionosphere could
cause cl9ud banks to form, which
in turn could change the weather.
And in
1973,
Dr. Roberts, and
a nother scientist, Roger Olson of
the National Oceanic and Atmo-
spheric Administration , an–
nounced their discovery that the
magnetic storms that cause the
Aurora Borealis, also control the
weather over the Gulf of Alaska,
which in turn controls the weath–
er for much of North America.
Indeed, it is because scientists
now know that electromagnetism
(radio signals are simply a form
of elet romagnetism) affects the
weather that many have come to
believe that sun spots-which
release great amounts of electro–
magnetic energy- influence
weather pattcrns. (See

Closlng Pandora's Box
Almost at the same time that
Soviet President Leonid Brezh–
nev warned of weapons "more
terrible than nuclear," the Soviet
Union made a concerted effort at
the Geneva Conference of the
Committee on Disarmament to
han environmental warfare.
Significantly, the use of radio
signa ls to alter weather patterns
was brought up at the Geneva
Conference. A working paper cir–
culated by the Canadian govern–
ment warned of a number of
climate modification ideas: "Sea
and ocean alterations, tidal wave
generation, earthquake stimula–
tion, volcano triggering
and the
introduction of electromagnetic
waves into the atmosphere"
(Reuters, August
9, 1975).
Furthermore, the Soviet Union
made a statement at the confer–
ence which indicated it full well
realized the dangers-and poten–
tial-for envi ronmental warfarc:
"The aggressor can secretly,
without declaring war, for many
years use [weather modification]
methods against its intended vic–
tims."
Finally, after about a year of
incredible weather, on May
18,
1977,
the Sov iet Union, th e
United States, and 29 other
countries signed an agreement
banning envi ronmental warfa re.
Doomsday Terror

radio experiments must be con–
